Intel to limit production of Pentium G4560 to promote sales of Core i3

The Intel Pentium G4560 is the most interesting CPU of the blue company for people who want to build a low-cost computer. Endowed with the Kaby Lake architecture, it was launched during CES 2017 with a price below 60 euros, which yields quite good performance thanks to offer two cores @ 3.50 GHz, backed by four threads of processing thanks to the HyperThreading technology next to 3 MB of L3 cache supported by the Intel Graphics HD 610 @ 1150 MHz delivering a TDP of 54W.

The reason for Intel is fairly easy to understand, because in terms of performance it matches an Intel Core i5-2500K, whereas at present, it is equivalent to the Intel Core i3-7100 costing almost half (58 Vs 109 euros). Because of this, the Pentium G was monopolizing sales in the Intel entry range segment.

While this CPU was selling for about$ 65 in the United States, this week it can already be found at an average of $ 78 in almost every store, so you can expect that the price will soon rise to shorten distances over Core i3-7100.
